Interstellar: Nolan, McConaughey

a D in block letters

morbs i assume TDKR doesn't make that list only because you haven't seen it?

the robots are great in this but not as funny as bane

TDKR might be the worst movie I've ever seen, wd pay to watch Morbs watch it tho

You need to see more bad movies imago.

I've seen The Hottie And The Nottie m8, somehow left TDKR with a worse taste

yep w/ B3 i invoked Kael's "life is too short" dictum

OTM even if we were all tortoises

Life is short and this movie is long

i read the wiki plot summary and a ha ha ha ha ha ha ha dear lord

are we sure the nolans didn't ghostwrite prometheus are we sure lindelof didn't ghostwrite this mess

I smell lindelof

spoiler: matthew mconaughey turns into a giant space wheel at the end

This had a couple of good scenes and I'm not mad I watched it, but my eyes hurt from all the rolling. I hope half the budget went to compensating Dylan Thomas's estate. (Also, did anyone else who saw it have trouble making out at least a third of the dialogue? The mixing was atrocious at my screening.)

Wow, it sounds like this movie may compete with Prometheus in a dumb off.

Xpost hah ha, see I am not first to reach that destination.

I thought it was just our theater, the music completely drowned out much of the dialogue. Made some scenes tough to follow (not that that mattered a whole lot)

I'm a little surprised to see all the Nolan hate - I get that his films are cloying and often up their own asses but I don't see how you can say he's inept...dude clearly knows what he's doing a lot of the time. Yeah the bits about "love transcends the 5th dimension" were really dumb but for the most part I thought this was pretty cool, I was entertained for a lot of it and some of the plot points struck me as being really clever. I didn't understand the significance of the drone in the beginning nor did I really get what was happening with Topher Grace in the end but the movie basically worked for me. I do give it points for being really, really ambitious.

he's not inept just turgid and incapable of telling a story. always a few great shots tho.

I am off the Christopher Nolan bus.

Someone made a flowchart that makes this look like Primer.

Spoiler, Doyle deserved to die

Or whatever he was called. That was pure Prometheus.

I enjoyed this movie. Saw it in IMAX and it was the first time I saw a movie in IMAX where the sound was really loud. Especially the blastoff scenes near the beginning.... they were shaking the seats and stuff. Felt like a rocket was taking off in the theater.

too fucking loud, too much music.

everyone otm about the music and sounds drowning out the dialogue.

apparently big hero 6 is winning the weekend

Big Hero 6 ain't that great, either, but similarly (I guess?) looks awesome.

Didn't realize Big Hero 6 was an actual title of a movie and not a euphemism for the latest Marvel project.

Will it still make sense if I didn't see Big Hero 1-5? /dadjokes

dude clearly knows what he's doing a lot of the time

i hate what he's doing.

Didn't realize Big Hero 6 was an actual title of a movie and not a euphemism for the latest Marvel project.

I didn't realize that Big Hero 6 was (sort of) a Marvel property itself!

Turns out I skipped going to a movie theater on Saturday and therefore did not pay to see this. The motivation was much smaller than the obstacles (and the obstacles were minimal).

lol paramount projected exactly 50m which was 2.5 more than where it ended up and that's huuuuge. def hoping their stockholders wouldn't notice.

i was briefly set on seeing innastella, but now i just don't care

Is Daft Punk in this?

they play two famous alien club owners

xpost

no, but nile rodgers shows up in the last reel to inspire mcconnahey to sacrifice himself for the benefit of makind

this movie suuuuuuuuucked

i have free tix to see this now

so

i guess i am seeing it on saturday

"yay"?

Seeing it in IMAX might have tipped it to "fun," but as it was the severe corniness and clunkiness of the story overshadowed what it offered by way of sci-fi thrills, imo.

the science is all legit and well visualized and afaict christopher nolan has never met a human, heard a recording of a human speak, seen a film that might demonstrate the typical grammar of screenwriting, or experienced an emotion

the dusty apocalyptic feel of the earth scenes in the trailer just made me want to watch the teaser for 'mad max: fury road' again

(To be fair, I should add that I somehow ended up seeing Interstellar later on the same day that I saw [the understated-to-the-point-of-dryness] Citizenfour, which sequence of viewing did not improve my receptivity to a fantasy future where humanity transcends time and space through love or whatever)

this was nowhere near as bad as some critics have made out. i think they just wanted to take shots at nolan so just took it all out on this movie, when in fact, the dark knight films were far worse. has nolan watched primer? cos he does seem to like lots of technical jargon. hes trying way too hard to make his films appear smart. but OTOH, i liked that this film was trying to approach some bigger themes, even if it never really wrestles with them enough, theyre just dropped in but not taken as far as they could be. but there were some good emotional scenes in this, and the spectacle (i advise sitting near the front) does make up for a lot. but my main gripes with it are that there is a lot of clunky dialogue, but inception was FAR worse. a lot of actors seem to not be sure what they are saying/doing exactly (again like inception) so they come off looking a bit uncertain. and a lot of the plot points were basically lifted from a dozen previous sci fi movies (alien, moon, 2001, etc) which was dissapointing. but i did feel that nolan was at least trying to do something big here, not just big in terms of visuals, but in concept, and put some broader resonances/meanings into a big blockbuster, which i liked. gravity was more novel in terms of how it made space feel/look though. got quite a bit of spielberg from this too.

the "big ideas" this movie's been lauded for tackling aren't really any more ambitious than yr average episode of Voyager really

When someone said McConaughey turns into a wheel, that has me more interested than anything else.

I'm not really into Nolan but I like bits and bobs from his films (quite liked Memento; Scarecrow, Joker and Bane made the Batman films enjoyable) a lot of this sounds like a backlash to the ridiculous hype he gets. I doubt anyone really thinks he's worse than Bay, Emerich and all the other blockbuster guys rolled into one.

absolutely he is

Haha no way

Other puzzling things I've learned here: Carey Mulligan is pure scum, some comedians I find slightly annoying are actually odious but Dazed And Confused, Poltergeist and Buffy are just plain brilliant.
